The year is 2022 and a new <em>Flesh and Blood<\/em> hero is being revealed at Pro Tour: New Jersey. In order to properly thank the FAB cosplay community, LSS designed <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Taylor\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> &#8211; a special card meant to be given away during cosplay competitions at big events. The idea behind the hero was simple, yet effective. She&#8217;s a young Shapeshifter who has the ability to wear any piece of equipment, regardless of class or talent, and also swap out that equipment. Taylor was designed for UPF and was meant to be just that, a pretty card to be collected and a valuable prize for the best cosplayers in the FAB cosplay community.<\/p>\n<p>Today, however, she&#8217;s actively played in UPF and many players even win UPF matches using her. She isn&#8217;t just a cosplay card anymore either. Most cosplayers choose to sell their Taylor for the cards still-high value, as not many of them currently exist.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Taylor\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Of course, after a while, many people started entering cosplay competitions and giving away just a singular prize wasn&#8217;t enough anymore. While LSS gave away a few books at first during competitions, the need for more cosplay support cards quickly became more and more obvious. In 2023 they decided on the following: for bigger competitions, with a double digit number of cosplayers competing for Taylor, LSS started handing out Fabrics and a special weapon. There are currently four existing fabrics that cosplay competition participants can win, depending on their overall placement at the competition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5705\" src=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fabric-of-blossoms-215x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fabric-of-blossoms-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fabric-of-blossoms.jpg 493w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5706\" src=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fabric-of-scales-215x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fabric-of-scales-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fabric-of-scales.jpg 545w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5707\" src=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fabric-of-spring-215x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fabric-of-spring-215x300.png 215w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fabric-of-spring.png 546w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5709\" src=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/venomback-fabric-215x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/venomback-fabric-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/venomback-fabric.jpg 545w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If a cosplayer were to place in the Top 4 &#8211; they would get Fabric of Spring and Venomback Leather, two double sided cards which respectively have <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Fyendal&#8217;s Spring Tunic\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Fyendal&#8217;s Spring Tunic<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> and <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Scabskin Leathers\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Scabskin Leathers<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> on the other side of the card.
